For twenty years, the internet has been my second home while communicating science. Recently, I came across an image: a crying Earth surrounded by fallen trees, declaring, “No intelligent species would destroy their own home.” This image troubled me deeply. I refuse to let my eight-year-old son believe humans are stupid or evil — because it’s obviously untrue. But I often find myself quite lonely. I’m wondering if, perhaps, there are other folks out there who feel the same as I do.
We didn’t cause climate change through being stupid, but through being extremely smart. Our ancestors burned coal to solve urgent problems: growing more food, heating and lighting homes. We want to provide a good life for ourselves and our children. The results have been astonishing. In the U.S. in 1895 one quarter of people died before age five. Today it’s under 1 percent, and we will keep pushing until it hits zero. Imagine the essays Ben Franklin or Mark Twain would write about this level of advancement. How would they keep tears from their eyes if they saw what we’ve achieved
So much of that achievement has been based on the fossil fuels we’ve burned to generate it, whether coal, natural gas or oil. We’ve learned that this harms both the environment and people, and to our credit we aren’t always bad at addressing this. It was not long ago that London cleaned its smoke-blackened air. When rain becomes acidic, the world changes its policies. When harms are done locally, we tend to be pretty good at cleaning things up. Here’s where I feel hope: we have already done this, and we know it is possible.
I don’t want my son growing up thinking that his species is in some way evil. I want him thinking humans are problem solvers, and whatever strategies we take to fix global warming will create more new problems, too. This is a pretty normal story for intelligent species.
4. How did the author feel seeing the picture online
A. Disturbed. B. Ashamed. C. Frightened. D. Confused.
5. What is implied by mentioning Ben Franklin and Mark Twain
A. The warning of the warming Earth. B. The progress in social development.
C. The praise for human modesty. D. The demand for greener energy.
6. Why does the author feel hopeful about humans
A. We will make more policies. B. We have discovered more fossil fuels.
C. We highly value the role of the earth. D. We can restore damage to the environment.
7. What does the underlined word “story” refer to in the last paragraph
A. The cycle of causing and tackling problems. B. The ability to create a bright future.
C. The evil nature of human beings. D. The positive attitude to life.
C
Sometimes I wish the human brain came with a user’s manual; it would be so handy. Take the relationship between thinking about something and actually doing it, for example. It’s not unusual for people to judge themselves for thoughts they have, even though having a thought isn’t the same as taking action.
If thoughts were behavior, everyone would be in prison. Now, it’s common for people to underestimate the link between the thoughts they have now and how they behave later. However, in a new study, a team of researchers examined whether picturing a choice impacts whether someone will make that choice in reality. This work revealed that the judgments people in the study made in their everyday lives aligned (一致) with what they were considering. The course of action people entertain in their imagination can influence the probability of actually taking that path.
Certainly, there are boundaries on what we can take away from this study. Suppose you’re asked to imagine choosing a banana (vs. an apple) and you wind up actually picking the banana when you get a chance to select the fruit you want. What made the difference Did it matter that you pictured choosing the banana over just looking closely at the banana and sharing what it looks like This study doesn’t resolve that question.
Despite these considerations, it’s worth bearing in mind the courses of action we mentally rehearse (彩排) . Research reveals that imagining a situation improves a person’s estimation of how probable it is that the situation will occur (e.g., an accident). As this research indicates, envisioning a decision could actually increase the possibility of making that decision, at least in some cases.
So, how could you apply this to your own life Perhaps you might envision making a decision that aligns with what’s meaningful and uplifting to you. Or, you might catch yourself picturing a choice that you know wouldn’t be helpful to you or others and changing the mental channel to choices that align with how you really want to be in the world. Whatever you decide, consider collecting your own personal data and seeing what happens. Does it improve how you feel, think, or act
8. What is the focus of the study
A. The steps of making a choice. B. The standards of judging a person.
C. The link between thoughts and actions. D. The connection between behavior and outcomes.
9. What does the underlined phrase “wind up” mean in paragraph 3
A. End up. B. Bring up. C. Take up. D. Give up.
10. Which of the following examples best shows the indication in paragraph 4
A. Surviving an accident then fearing travel. B. Preparing a speech but avoiding the event.
C. Observing a fruit closely then describing it. D. Picturing a healthy breakfast then choosing it.
11. What does the author want to express in the last paragraph
A. Take action bravely. B. Catch your initial thought.
C. Establish personal database. D. Use your imagination wisely.
D
The potato: Mash it, bake it, fry it… No matter how you deal with it, the potato is the very example of all that is ordinary. And yet it has long harbored a mystery. Scientists find that certain genes suggested that potatoes were more closely related to tomatoes, while other genes gave the impression that potatoes and Etuberosum (茄科植物) had the closer relationship. Which one was it
A new study in Cell offers the answer. Researchers led by botanist Sandy Knapp discovered that the potato genes originated in the Americas where an ancient hybridizing event between the ancestors of tomatoes and Etuberosum occurred around 9 million years ago. This is when the Andes Mountains were forming. This rare hybridization created a new plant with a unique ability that neither of its parent plants has: forming underground tubers (the part we eat) . “They’re a way for a plant to store starch (淀粉) ,” Knapp says, “and, in a way, survive seasons which are not good for growing.”
Understanding the potato’s origins, specifically the key genes inherited (遗传) from each parent group that control tuber formation, opens new possibilities. “We can use the tomato or Etuberosum to perhaps do some genetic engineering to improve the potato,” Knapp says. One such improvement would enable farmers to grow potatoes resistant to pests, a changing climate, and other environmental challenges. Simply put, “The tomato can be the future of the potato,” says Zhiyang Zhang, a plant genetics Ph. D. student and a lead researcher on the study.
The origin of potatoes offers much food for thought. You had two things and something completely different emerged. Through hybridization, you can generate many new combinations in a short time. And you can generate more species to adapt to changeable environments. “Hybridization is a real force in evolution that allows for the release of variation,” Knapp explains. “Of course, not all hybridizing events have produced results as wildly successful as the potato. But we’re quite lucky in this case that this one worked.”
12. What remained uncertain about potatoes at first
A. Their genetic origin. B. Their plain look.
C. Their various relatives. D. Their serving methods.
13. What can underground tubers function as
A. The plant holder. B. A new parent plant.
C. A nutrition provider. D. The season indicator.
14. What can be inferred from paragraph 3
A. Potatoes would be in greater need. B. The farming approach goes greener.
C. The genetic engineering is improving. D. Potatoes would become more adaptable.
15. What does Knapp think of hybridization
A. Its success relies on luck. B. Its operation is easy to learn.
C. It helps create diverse species. D. It is worth applying worldwide.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
Homework has long been tied to school. ___16___ But with the way of learning shifted, it’s fair to ask: Is homework still relevant, or a leftover from a different time
The idea of homework goes back a long way. Historians trace it to ancient Rome. Pliny the Younger, a teacher around AD 61—113, encouraged students to practice speaking at home. Homework evolved slowly over the centuries. ___17___ In the U. S. , it grew common in the early. 20th century. In 1957, American schools piled on homework to raise academic demands. By the1980s, it was seen as key to academic success.
___18___ For high schoolers, homework links to academic performance. But younger kids seem to gain little from traditional homework. Furthermore, students who are responsible and supported at home are most likely to complete assignments and benefit from them. For students from lower-income families who might lack internet access, homework can actually widen the achievement gap.
Then everything changed. As educators recognized the limitations of passive, one-size-fits-all tasks in encouraging genuine understanding and student engagement, traditional worksheets and reading logs gave way to project-based assignments or online lessons, clouding the line between homework and classwork. However, just assigning tasks wasn’t enough. ___19___
So, what now Keep, change, or get rid of it ___20___ It all comes down to how it’s used. When it’s just something to keep kids busy, it doesn’t do much. But when thoughtful, clear, and actually fitting what a student needs, it has its place. In a world where information is instant, the purpose of homework needs a fresh look.
A. The thing is, homework isn’t automatically good or bad.
B. It took on a more formal role during the Industrial Revolution.
C. Furthermore, access to reliable internet became a critical factor.
D. The concept, however, faded significantly during the Middle Ages.
E. The question of whether homework actually helps students is tricky.
F. Without engagement, feedback, and support, homework lost its effectiveness.
G. Ask students what school’s like, and you’ll hear about tests, teachers and homework.

The day dawned with excitement and curiosity. The weather was ideal: a clear sky, a mild wind dancing through the trees, rustling (沙沙声) them ___21___. My father, an experienced fisherman, patiently guided me through fishing ___22___ — casting the line, feeling for a ___23___, and reeling (绕线) in the catch. His calm manner was comforting, yet ___24___ stayed, rooted in the uncertainty of what lay ahead.
I felt a burst of delight as my line first hit the water, sending tiny circles spreading across the surface, but that excitement soon gave way to restlessness. Minutes ___25___ like hours as I sat, staring at the still water, waiting for any ___26___ of life. My father sensed my growing frustration and shared his wisdom.
His words ___27___ home. I started to value the peace around me: birds singing sweetly in the distance, water gently washing against the shore, and fish ___28___ occasionally to catch the light. Just as hope was fading, my line gave a sudden ___29___. My heart ____30____ as I fought to reel it in. The fish ____31____ strongly, trying to escape with surprising quickness, but with my father's encouraging words and steady hands, I finally pulled it ashore. Holding the smallmouth fish was pure ____32____ . It was a ____33____ catch, yet a great achievement to me. Its shiny scales (鳞片) caught the sunlight, its eyes seeming to ____34____ my excitement.
Releasing it back into the lake, I felt a deep sense of fulfillment and ____35____ for the creature that had given me such a meaningful experience.
21. A. wildly B. lifelessly C. coldly D. playfully

At 7:30 a.m., I leave my tent and walk over to the mountain edge, where spreading out before me, ___37___ (branch) of the Rapa River flow through the valley below. This is a remote place ___38___ no roads or towns far north of Sweden in Sarek National Park.

In the baking heat, I watched the elderly woman struggle with a walker, loaded with bags of groceries. I was driving north, and she was walking south. I’d seen her before, each time feeling guilty I didn’t offer her a lift. Today, the guilt won. I turned back, pulled over, and offered her a ride.
The woman looked weary, sweat pouring down her face. I placed her walker and bags into my trunk, helped her inside, and drove off. “Bless you, child,” she murmured. She directed me to go farther south.
Passing under a bridge, she asked me to pull over. She rolled down her window and called out to several homeless people, “Come by later! Spaghetti night!” She waved and smiled, her smile erasing ten years off her face. We continued south, chatting easily. Her name was Ida. She worked as a bagger at the nearby grocery store and often missed the last bus because of working overtime.
Suddenly, I realised we were on the “wrong side of town”. It was starting to get dark, and I began to feel uneasy. We continued down unfamiliar streets finally to an old apartment building. Several young men had gathered around the entrance, looking threatening. Some were on motorcycles, and one, wearing a hoodie (连帽衫) over his bushy, long hair, was staring at me. My discomfort grew, but Ida seemed fine. She directed a couple of the guys to help with her groceries. She thanked me, and I drove away as fast as I could.
Suddenly, the roar of a motorcycle sounded behind me. It was that hoodie guy! He didn’t overtake; he just kept pace, waving for me to stop. No way was I going to stop for a stranger on a deserted street. In a panic, I reached down for my purse to get my cell phone to call 911. I felt an empty seat. My purse wasn’t there! “She stole my purse!” I may have used stronger language. So much for acts of kindness, I thought.

The Spiritual Power from Helen Keller
Among all the characters in my senior English textbook, Helen Keller stands out most, whose spiritual power has deeply influenced me. Born blind and deaf, Helen faced unimaginable hardships, but she never gave up. With the guidance of her teacher Anne Sullivan, she mastered reading, writing and even speaking, showing extraordinary perseverance and optimism.
Her story hit home when I struggled with my English exam last term. I failed twice and almost quit, but Helen’s image popped into my mind — if she could overcome far greater difficulties, why couldn’t I I started spending an extra hour each day practicing listening and writing and asked my teacher for help regularly. Finally, I got a B+ in the final exam.
Helen taught me that no obstacle is insurmountable as long as we hold fast to hope and keep trying. This power will keep pushing me forward in my study and life.

【47题答案】
【答案】 Meanwhile, the guy stayed close to me, continually signaling for me to stop. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a purse on the floor of my car. Yes, there was a purse, but it wasn’t mine. Then I saw the guy right outside my window, waving my purse! I couldn’t believe my eyes. I pulled over to the curb, and the young man stopped his motorcycle by the passenger side. Through the window I had opened, he handed me my purse. “Grandma sent me to give you this. She picked it up by mistake. She is so sorry.” He was still smiling. This time, his smile didn’t appear threatening, simply gracious.
Speechless, I handed him his grandma’s purse, and then he took off. After retrieving a few dollars, I waved for the young man to stop, hoping to reward him, but he had disappeared into the night. I did manage to yell, “Thank you!” I had assumed he was a criminal because he looked “wild” but he was really an angel who went out of his way to help a stranger. Sometimes, we misjudge a person’s character because they don’t conform to what we believe is proper. They may not drive a stylish car, live on the “right” side of town, or dress in what we consider to be fashionable, but who’s to say they are not equal to or better than we are
